imperturbatus | The 11th

Around

[ Even with all of whatever injury she had getting patched up, Adela still feels pretty tired and somehow still sore from the Quidditch match. Training's going to resume soon though, and she is glad for that victory, but... ]

No, thanks but I'm not interested.

Seriously? How cold can you get, first the dance and now this? Am I just not good enough for you!?

[ Adela's left feeling uncomfortable as yet another guy she doesn't really know walks away in a huff after asking her on a date. It had happened at first because of the dance, but now it's becoming more frequent for a lot of boys outside of her year to try and ask her out. Or 'subtly' mentioned that she looked hot when she was all dolled up back then. It's a bit more attention than she can handle, especially when they started getting mad at her for saying no.

Adela just sighs, making to walk away from the area before someone else can corner her and be pushy at her. Honestly... Dealing with this crap is almost more exhausting than practice. Hell, it's more exhausting than dealing with Zelman. At least she's safe in classes and when she does go to practice, if only because she's doing other stuff then and there's no opportunity to corner her.

Unfortunately, the in-between times are when she's vulnerable to this kind of inquiry, or any other that people might come up to her for whatever reason, whether it's addressing her 'suitors' or any other topic entirely. ]

Closed to Kaoru

[ Aha! Adela, at breakfast, grins as she sees the morning post coming in - and her owl has a package, as well as a letter. She stuffs the letter into her robe pocket for the moment, peeking into the carefully wrapped package before jumping up and, forgoing the rest of her breakfast, goes over to the Slytherin table. ]

I'm borrowing him for a while!

[ Kaoru, apparently, doesn't get a choice in the matter as she grabs his arm and makes to drag him out of the hall, holding the package under her other arm and making sure they're out of hearing range. When she feels they're far enough, and before Kaoru can properly ask once they've stopped, she pushes the package into his arms. ]

There. Those are for you. You are giving those to her, today. I looked at the arrangement, it means romantic interest and admiration, because she is not going to mistake what you mean when you tell her you like her and are interested.

[ She's pretty determined not to let him back out of this either. The sooner he gets it done, the better! ]

Library

[ It's later in the day when she finally opens the letter she's gotten, and seeing the initial part of the message makes her smile, along with a copy of an old photo...

She stares at it, shocked, before turning around to see the copied writing on the back... There's no way.

What?

She shakes her head, frowning and thinking that there has to be an explanation for the weird thing in the photo she's seeing but now that she thinks about it...

Without further thought about it sends a response to that letter (poor Saggia, she'll have to spoil her owl rotten after this), and minutes later she's in the library again, grabbing a pile of books on recent wizarding history and starting from there. If she can find anything that has some knowledge of events in France, or anything else in the area that might give her some clue, some reason why that photo is so strange to her, it might answer a lot!! ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Professor Hanabusa. You make it sound like I'm never in class when you say it like that.

[ Well, it was a warmer greeting than he had received from her previously, and she nodded before going back to... Whatever she was doing. It wasn't exactly something covered in History of Magic after all, but it was something she had to know for her own sake. ]

[He glanced over from his book for just a moment. He was sure he had seen that book before when he had been checking out certain things. He wondered if it was for class or something.]

Hitory of Magic homework?

... No, not really.

[ She frowned as she closed the book she had been looking at, then going to the next one. ]

Just that something seemed off recently, and I'm trying to find out why. I'm hoping some things on recent history in Europe would help me figure it out.

[ It would probably be better if she didn't say exactly what, only that she was basically sating her own curiosity the only way she knew how at the time. ]

Not all History books has every detail, so you might not necessarily find what you are looking for.

[Not that he would know in this case if it was fact or now however.]

Maybe not, but I need to try anyway. It's just something I need to know.

[ Her, stubborn? Now whatever would give anyone that idea? ]

What are you trying to look for anyway that is so important and I assume not necessarily for class others wise it would be much easier.

[Because the teachers would make it obvious what book they would need to use after all.]

... It's private. If I find what I'm looking for, it'll answer a lot of questions for me.

[ Well, the answer is honest, if vague. Part of why she's hesitant to answer actually isn't because it's Aidou however, but more because she's aware that she's equipped with a piece of information she shouldn't have. Or, well, maybe more than one. Either way. ]

Okay.

[But it's not like this library had all the books in the world within it's walls, so he figured the chanced of finding what you need might be like finding a needle in a haystack.]

Good luck with that.

... Thanks.

[ She's fully aware that the chances are bad, and that likely is what the chances are regarding her searching. If not in France, then maybe somewhere else in Europe... ]

[He smiled slightly before looking back at his book, jotting down notes that he thinks would be useful later on.]
